Scholl Verruca and Wart Complete Treatment Gel Pen

Product Information

Press the tip of the pen lightly against the wart for three seconds . Be careful not to apply the solution to the surrounding skin. If the wart is larger you may need more solution. In many cases medical professionals will find there is sufficient body fluid to dissolve the tip of the Avoca Silver Nitrate Applicator or Avoca Silver Nitrate Pencil. Water is used when body fluid is not sufficient, for example when ensuring verruca removal. Much of the following guide applies to use with body fluid but is written for use with water. Freezing (cryotherapy). Freezing therapy done at a doctor's office involves applying liquid nitrogen to your wart. Freezing works by causing a blister to form under and around your wart. Then, the dead tissue sloughs off within a week or so. This method may also stimulate your immune system to fight viral warts. You'll likely need repeat treatments. The aim of the treatment, as with other verrucae treatments, is to create a micro-trauma that will be recognised by the body’s immune system and generate an improved immune response to destroy the verrucae virus Key specs – Size: 50ml; Application type: Precision gas applicator; Active ingredient: Dimethyl ether; Suitable for: Age 12+

Touch the area to be treated with the wet tip so that silver nitrate solution is transferred to the area to be treated. Use light pressure, do not press or rub the area with the tip – silver nitrate is brittle and may break if too much pressure is applied.Most common warts go away without treatment, though it may take a year or two and new ones may develop nearby. Some people choose to have their warts treated by a doctor because home treatment isn't working and the warts are bothersome, spreading or a cosmetic concern. The pen has a triangle-shaped grip that ensures steady application, and a unique tip that automatically delivers the right dose when pressed against the wart. Avoid applying the solution to the area surrounding the wart, since formic acid is corrosive and can damage healthy skin. This is especially important when treating areas of thin skin, with children for example, or on top of the hand. NOTE! Genital warts are very different, in case you’re wondering. They’re caused by a different type of HPV and are sexually transmitted. Don’t even think of using off-the-shelf verruca treatments on genital warts. Instead, go to an STI clinic. How do you get rid of verrucas?

Left untreated, warts can grow in size and get harder to treat. Untreated warts can also spread to create clusters, spread to other parts of your body (for example, to your feet, where they can grow inwards and become painful verrucas), and spread to other people. So get yourself a good wart remover, and get rid. Acid treatments use salicylic acid or trichloroacetic acid to eat away your wart from the top down, burning through the dead skin. That may sound nasty, but acid treatments are relatively gentle, and can take a couple of months to remove a stubborn wart.If the wart is a really stubborn one, there’s enough solution here for up to 12 applications, although you should only use it a maximum of three times (two weeks apart) on one wart. But it’s unlikely you’ll need to use it more than once. If the tip breaks, make sure you recover all pieces. Tweezers are the best way to do this. If the tip falls off, it can still be dissolved in water by holding it with tweezers. However, despite the precision applicator, it’s all a bit fiddly to use. You have to keep the applicator in a vertical position, push and twist to release the gas, and then keep it in place for a full 40 seconds. Not easy when treating the underside of your own foot! But this may be just the thing to finally kill that stubborn wart on your hand.

Stronger peeling medicine (salicylic acid). Prescription-strength wart medications with salicylic acid work by removing layers of a wart a little bit at a time. Studies show that salicylic acid is more effective when combined with freezing. Study results have been mixed on the effectiveness of duct tape in removing warts, either alone or with other therapies. Done! For a successful result, treat regularly once a week until the wart/verruca has completely disappeared, otherwise the process stops. If treatment is irregular, the whole process takes longer. Here’s a chilling proposition for your wart. Bazuka’s precise, direct treatment works by freezing the offender to minus 46°C, which should be enough to kill and remove your wart (or verruca) after one application. The wart turns from skin colour to a sort of dead white, before it then “defrosts” again, eventually drying up and disappearing. Users report that this whole process takes about one week, and actually administering the treatment takes seconds. The treated surface layer of a wart or verruca should be filed away using a fine emery board, for some types of verruca it will be necessary to cut away the hard callous-like surface to get to the soft tissue underneath. Repeat this verruca treatment for remaining wart/verruca tissue until the wart/verruca has gone.Make sure to treat the whole wart or verruca but take care not to touch the product onto surrounding healthy skin. The ugly mark you see on your skin is actually the virus’s defence mechanism. It creates excessive skin to cover itself up, and over time these layers and layers of dead skin get compacted, which makes them painful and increasingly hard to treat. And if you have a cluster of verrucas (sometimes called ‘mosaic warts’), they can get very sore indeed if left untreated. These treatments can take up to 3 months to complete, may irritate your skin and do not always work. You should not use these treatments on your face.

If your skin becomes too irritated, decrease how often you use this method to treat your wart. If you're pregnant, talk with your doctor before using an acid solution. Within 14 days the verruca should disappear. If it doesn’t fall off in this time, additional application may be needed. Salicylic and trichloroacetic acid work from the outside in, corroding the hardened layers of dead skin. Acid treatments work best after you’ve softened the verruca by soaking it in water, and may need helping along with an emery board or pumice stone, to rub away the hardened dead skin. It’s pretty easy to do at home, but it can take up to three months to shift a really stubborn verruca. Do not use EndWarts ® PEN to remove facial or genital warts, molluscum or other skin lesions. Instructions 2 Removal can take a couple of weeks or more, but that’s faster than most acid treatments. There’s none of the stinging discomfort you get with a freeze treatment, so it’s much more suitable for children. The main downside is that the stuff comes out of the tube fast when you first open it, so be careful not to get it on healthy skin.One of the best things about plasma technology as an alternative verrucae treatment is that it is virtually pain free. The ergonomic design of the Verruca Pen is comfortable to hold, conveniently cordless, and perhaps most importantly not intimidating or invasive to patients (especially important when treating children). With the precision of the microprobe the verrucae can be targeted and removed with only a minimal amount of discomfort reported by some patients, as the problem area becomes more tender with the disappearance of the verrucae or wart. When applied correctly, Bazuka Gels are pain free. They form a water-resistant protective barrier, so there’s no fuss and no need for plasters. Bazuka Gel and Bazuka Treatment Gel are clinically proven. And no other gel you can buy is more effective than Bazuka Extra Strength Treatment Gel. Using EndWarts ® PEN takes only a few seconds once a week, so the wart treatment itself causes little or no stress nor interruption of your day. The formic acid is absorbed directly into the wart and dries instantly so you can continue your day with minimal disruption. 2 Home treatment is often effective in removing common warts. Unless you have an impaired immune system or diabetes, try these methods: This belt-and-braces approach is designed to speed things up, potentially obliterating a wart in as little as five days, but not all users found it as fast or effective as promised. Perhaps by trying to do everything at once, it actually ends up not being powerful enough. Or it may be that many buyers use this as a last resort (it is quite expensive, after all) and are simply suffering from really stubborn warts that need to be frozen off by a doctor.
